New Zealand's Tour of Bangladesh

[khalek]

^^ LOL! exactly



does that say INDIA? they have to Bring INDIA every where dont they??

Cricinfo is owned by ESPN but I dont know why I feel like its an Indian website. All the live commentators are Indians and majority of the journalists in their Magazine are Indians as well.

Thats not the case but the one in the quote just shows how biased they are. They just can't wait for India-Australia match to start.

sad to see that Bangladesh is in such trouble but its good to see Tamim play according to the teams need instead of his usual attacking game. He is a real talent.

Here we go, another one bites the dust. Into the tail now.

 

[ZexyZahid]

It's confirmed on cricinfo: 163 runs is the follow-on score.

Bangladesh are very from that with their score of 68-6.

 

[Jit]

Bangladesh gonna loose this one too. I had big hopes that they will finally draw one match but sadly it doesnt like it.

 

[ZexyZahid]

Shakib Al Hasan and Mortaza are trying their best for Bangladesh. They need 84 runs to avoid the follow-on though.

 

[irottev]

Mills isn't bowling well. Should try Elliot. On this pitch i'm sure he'd be a handful.

 

[Chewie]

One thing I think is stupid about this game is that in New Zealand it's being shown on Sky Sports 3, while the India-Australia game is on Sky Sports 2.

 

[khalek]

100/6, great effort from Shakib and Mashrafe. Our top order need to learn something from the lower order. Only Tamim is giving his life trying to save the innings and the others are just choking.

 

[McLOVIN]

its lunch. and if we had started well, aggressively, and passing 150-175 by now, could have declared and sent NZ to bat again....

we still can, i mean if it was top 4 teams, thats what they would have done. but BD cant...because what if they gets bowled out for 30 runs in 2nd innings?

One thing I think is stupid about this game is that in New Zealand it's being shown on Sky Sports 3, while the India-Australia game is on Sky Sports 2.

I don't think that stupid to be honest. Firstly that game is much more interesting (well could argue this one looked exciting up until this partnership). Second the NZ Bangladesh game isn't in HD. I'm not sure if the Aus India one is or not but if it is, that would be why.

 

[Chewie]

Australia India game is not in HD. And you would think that a game involving a national team would be on a more important channel.

International rugby games are always on sky sports 1. Domestic ones are normally unless there are two games on.

 

[irottev]

Both these batsmen should be out. That ball carried to Ryder. Bad camera quality meant it madeit look bad, but it obviously carried. And that was plumb LBW to Razzak. :/

irottev added 9 Minutes and 25 Seconds later...

Finally he's out. :/ Took long enough. He's gotta be the worst player of the short ball in world cricket. Which is why he's decent in bangladesh but terrible anywhere else with the bat. Vettori gave him too many runs trying to buy his wicket, should have bowled normally and got him onto strike for O'Brien earlier.

 

[ZexyZahid]

Mortaza is out. It should be exciting. New Zealand need two wickets and Bangladesh need 8 runs to avoid the follow-on. Mortaza at least did what he could.

 

[irottev]

They avoided it, but to be honest, the follow on didn't matter much any more. If we'd avoided it we'd only be 100 in the bank anyway. We have to bowl Bangladesh out in 1 session either way and I don't think that's going to happen. This is a dead pitch. It's like playing on clay i'm sure.

lol at Bangladesh declaring. Just to save one of their tailenders getting out. Sad!
